Britain has a Russia problem. And his name is Nigel Farage. Today, Ofcom finally banned RT. 8 long years after Russia illegally invaded Crimea. But this is their man. RT - whose editor described it as a "weapon" of the Russian state - is what made Farage into who is today. 1/

🚨🇬🇧 Tommy Robinson is back begging for cash for the next 'Unite the Kingdom' rally (16 May) - and the pitch is pure waffle: “Make the government fear the people… take our country back… historic day… Britain said ‘no more’.” Ok - “no more” what, exactly? And then what? Last time (13 Sept 2025), he pulled a big crowd - and what did it produce in the real world? According to reporting at the time: violence, injured officers, arrests, and a day of hate-speech spectacle… but no policy, no program, no mechanism, no outcomes. Now he’s selling the same emptiness with more screens: (from 4 to 11), “crowd dispersal officers” for £15k, “bigger than any concert,” and endless “we’ll keep hammering” donation asks. But here’s the thing: If your 'movement' can only describe itself in vague threats - “fear,” “rise,” “unite,” “no more” - then what is it other than a way for Tommy to afford more recreation drugs and designer clothes? What’s the stated aim? “Government fear.” How? Votes? A party? Specific legislation? A policy platform? Judicial review? Local organising? No. Just a rally, a donation link, and another promise that this time it’ll be “historic.” And that’s it: the product isn’t change, it’s the performance. The crowd is the content. The cash is the point.
